Hello everyone, I posted before about touching up my Polished RIms. I picked up a Grinder/Polisher and some polisher compound. My question is the compound is in bar form and when I try to scrap a piece out to polish it becomes almost like powder. What steps do I take from here to polish, do I have to apply some heat to the bar compound?

EDIT: Heres sorta what the bar looks like

Apply it to the polishing wheel not the rim, Also with the compound less is more.

 

I figured the polish would go on the wheel, my problem is when I try to break a small piece of the compound off it becomes like powder and pieces that do stay solid are dificult because there so small.

 

Thanks for the great advice guys, unfortionately the weather has been crap here last couple days. Its raining like mad and supposed to rain and snow for like 4-5 days. I'll let you guy know how it works

 

we got snow last night... crazy biznatch-**** weather.

and their polishing advice matches what I've been told too
